Unexpected score at Thunderbird Salvage's UArts estate sale today: a huge stack of lit journals back issues for $20. TBR is laughable at this point but we buy them all anyway 💃

It's 90% soap opera and 10%% medicine that's neither educational or interesting, but full of fake blood. I hate everyone except this chimpanzee John Leguizamo insisted they treat like a patient with very little explanation.

This has been the rainiest summer in recent memory and as much as my body is not about this humidity, my herb garden is loving it.

Every day I walk past my neighbor's lawn statue, and it's always made me feel uneasy though I haven't been able to say why. This week it hit me that the cherub's face is a dead ringer for Kuato from the 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall.

Drove home behind this for half an hour today. I can't tell if that's sharpie or scratched out of the paint job, but either way, seems legit.
